Treating Nail Psoriasis

Don't Miss This

Do you have any information on the treatment of psoriasis under the fingernails?

Nail psoriasis is very difficult to treat as most topical medications are ineffective. It is difficult to deliver topical medications to the nail matrix where the nail plate (fingernail) is produced. The most effective treatments include systemic therapies such as methotrexate, cyclosporine, intralesional steroid injections or newer biologic therapies.

Psoriasis expert Dr. Leila Ettefagh shares a private dermatology practice in Newport Beach, Calif., with her husband Dr. Navid Nami. She is a board-certified dermatologist with a special interest in skin cancer and medical and cosmetic dermatology.
